As I mentioned in this post, I have long wanted to make a skirt like Anne's, and I think I got as close as I could with what I had. Yes, the 1909 “Beatrix” Skirt Pattern could have been used, but for practicality reasons and wanting to not sport a look of 100 years ago, I decided to use my basic a-line skirt pattern by lengthening it, making the hem fuller, adding a bias flounce, and 3 teensy-tiny pin tucks.So paired with a top that was given to me, my vintage-looking heels, and a blue sweater in case the weather turned chilly (in which it did!), I had a fabulous day yesterday wearing both modern and old-fashioned.

nice outfit!
so cute!
I agree, the outfit looks very nice, and you look radiant and very pretty!
An feminine, grown-up, cute, fun outfit quite becoming to the beautiful birthday girl. :)
You're loved!
I likes it!
You are so young! In my mind I was thinking you were a much older woman. I guess because you sound so mature.
Nice outfit.
Cindy
You all are so sweet and kind. ::blushes:: Thankyou!
Hi Cindy,
Nice to "meet" you! I suppose I am "young" although with recently turn 25, I don't consider myself to be *that* young. ::winks::
Blessings!
LOVE the skirt, LOVE the shirt!!(where did you get the shirt?)
Very pretty. :)
Look at you girl, you are SHINING!! That skirt is beautiful!
It came out so lovely! I love how the bottom of the skirt looks, especially. You did a great job!
Wow what a beautiful skirt. I love it. You keep inspiring me to make things, to actually sew which I haven't done so in a while. If you dont mind my asking. What pattern is your basic a-line skirt pattern?
Oh its so pretty and I love what you have done with the bottom.
Thankyou :) May God bless you abundantly,
Meagan
